RipperBot

RipperBot is a machine that can rip large numbers of compact discs at once. It is based on a Powerfile C200S dvd changer that holds 200 discs, a standard pc running windows 2000, and some custom python software that controls the changer and the dvd-rom drive inside.

Building the ripperbot is taking a lot longer than expected; you can read the sick details.

Some usage documentation.

loading Very preliminary source code can be had. The controller stuff won't be useful unless you have a C200S. Win32 python hackers might be able to use the included swig wrapper around CDRip.dll; CDRip.dll is a part of the CDex open source audio ripper.
